Over the years, LG was once a pioneer in the smartphone industry with their G and V smartphone series. These phones are packed with a lot of punch and boast new and exciting features.

But LG has forgotten one thing, and that is how to fix their unexciting phone designs. From the G7 ThinQ all the way to V50 ThinQ 5G, those phones almost look unchanged. They might have been minor changes with the newer V60 ThinQ 5G, but it’s still not as eye-catching as other contenders.

The LG Velvet isn’t a replacement to their ever-existing flagship series. Instead, LG tries to reimagine things by making sure they produce products that cater the needs of not just tech nerds, but other types of consumers as well.

Here’s our in-depth review of the LG Velvet.

Now more than ever, we have been relying on our smartphones to get things done. If you’re wondering whether the Huawei P40 Pro can handle all your needs, then wonder no more.

This smartphone still carries the best of what Huawei has to offer. That includes cameras that perform just as good, if not better, than the competition. Along with a processor, memory, and storage combination that can handle whatever task you throw at it.

But the question with the P40 Pro has always been about the apps. Does it have access to apps that can maximize its hardware?

That’s what we’re here to talk to you about.

Huawei’s AppGallery is home to many apps you and I regularly use. Nearly everyone in the Philippines is on Facebook. So, Huawei made sure this was readily available on the AppGallery.

Another app that people rely on for secure communication is Viber. That’s also easily downloadable.

We’re sure you also like to keep yourself entertained. Whether that’s catching up on the latest K-Drama, playing games in between, or just watching other people do all sorts of challenges, these apps are all at your disposal.

Obviously, with everything that’s happening, you need to stay informed. The AppGallery also gives you access to reputable news sources.That’s why you should read up, so you’re not easily misled by misinformation.

Some of you might even get your info through newsletters. Don’t miss any of that along with other emails. Sync your GMail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, or Hotmail on the Huawei email app for ultimate convenience.

Need other things Google-related? You have access to all of it through the Huawei browser. You can even make a home screen shortcut for sites like YouTube.

One of the many convenient things we can do  is manage our finances at the comfort of our homes. With everyone being under community quarantine, you’ve likely discovered the marvels of mobile banking, and Guess what, the top banking apps are also on AppGallery!

Not just that! These even work in concert with other payment apps, so you can manage your finances and know for sure how much you can spend on shopping apps.

We’re sure all that browsing had you going hungry. Give in to your cravings by ordering on FoodPanda!

This is just scratching the surface. There are plenty more apps to discover and more apps coming to AppGallery soon.

So Where did the AppGallery come from anyway?

Huawei has had the AppGallery since 2018. Since then, it has grown to 180 billion downloads, and 390 million monthly active users worldwide. And those numbers continue to rise.

To make all of this even easier, Huawei put AppGo on the AppGallery. It’s essentially an easier way to find the apps you like. Just search, tap on the app you’re looking for and AppGo will redirect you to where you can get it!

Security is at the core of most people’s concerns. As it should be, no matter what phone you have.

Huawei is keenly aware of this and there’s been no shortage of information campaigns / to drive this point home.

For the AppGallery itself, the company has put in four layers of protection to ensure that it detects malicious app behaviour.

This includes things like eavesdropping on users, monitoring, and Unauthorized screenshots and screen recordings. Huawei is adamant about not touching your personal data and they’ve put systems in place to back that talk.

Huawei recognizes that the AppGallery may not have all of your preferred apps. To remedy this, there are two things you can do.

First, you can add it to the AppGallery Wish list. On the app just click on “Me”, Tap “Wish list”, and then tap “Add to Wish list” on the bottom of the screen.  You can then enter the app name and add a description of the app.

There’s also a check-box that you can tick which will auto-install your requested app once it becomes available.

For everything else, you can use third party app downloaders that you can access through the Huawei browser.

We’ve opted to use APKPure for our needs. This has given us access to other most used apps like Netflix and Instagram. And they work perfectly fine on the Huawei P40 Pro.
